You blokes are funny. While I'm not totally familiar with Collingwood FC, I have to assume that the Pies (Is that really their nick name?) are similar to the Chicago Cubs of the US National League (Baseball) or the Cleveland Browns of the NFL (American Football).
A.K.A. The perennial doormats of the league.
We used to treat the New York Mets with the same irreverence, then they won the World Series.
A bit of advice, be careful as crow doesn't taste very good, regardless of the chef.

Pies is short for Magpies as their jumper is black and white vertical stripes. They have won a few premierships so not the 'doormat' but the non-supporters are pleased when they are struggling.
You are either a one-eyed Collingwood supporter or not. There is no in between. Most of us have a soft spot for another club besides our own but not towards Collingwood. They have been known to get the Colliwobbles at finals time in September.

Thanks Chesand.
I know of several similarities here in the US. (Most recently the Clippers.)

An old one in the 1950s was a parody on George Washington, relating to the Washington Senators baseball team:

I was going to do a wooden sculpture of Eddie McGuire but I couldn't find a piece of wood thick enough.
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.

Well if you have to do a glue-up why not do the job properly and use three planks? Originally Posted by A Duke

Use polyU as it requires a degree of wetness to work.
